Mom. Redhead. Lawyer. Advanced law degree in E-Commerce & Technology. Stormtrooper. RSO Girl.
Famous lifelong for being a geek.
And I am NOT *YOUR* LAWYER, so when I give *general* ramblings about law-related subjects, I address them for the good of the universe at large. I am NOT talking to YOU, ya nut. You aren't paying me, so my professional services are NOT at your disposal. Savvy?
Get advice from a local attorney with regard to your specific set of circumstances. Please.
Imperial world. Imperial Girl.
So this whole post is going to sound like complete insanity, but it's true, start to finish. I'll fast forward to the unbelievable part because the rest is kind of boring—I can't write the part I was going to write because I have to go to a formal tea with retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. That rules, on a scope that's hard for me to even absorb. So the rest of my story goes as such:
I was going to sit down and knock out a walkthrough of CISPA (the Congressional Research Summary) because it's relevant to my huge monster paper that I've been writing that keeps rewriting itself … I write a chunk, and something happens, and something else absolutely *has* to be included, and the landscape of it changes, and I read some more, and some other things change.
It makes me wonder why I wanted to get into Tech in the first place.
Then I remember that with my inherent "SQUIRREL!" tendencies, the constant fireworks show of new information and material to mull over is probably the perfect thing for me.
Anyway, everyone's screaming about CISPA. I can do a walkthrough and feel like I'm contributing to the Greater Good, because as much as people are howling about the thing, how many of them do you think have read it? Or even read the summary? I know it's an inherent weakness of my character, but I dislike having people—bloggers—writing hysteria and hyperbole about things that I'm pretty sure they haven't even read. I know they need blog hits to make a living. I understand the business model. Call it sheer, unadulterated arrogance on my part if you wish, and I'm okay with that. I'm not going to let those guys tell me what to think.
So I'll read over it again, this time with a fine-toothed comb. I'll write about it. You all can peruse it if you wish, or not. C.Mabe can take a look and pretend she's never seen it before when I submit my paper later, or not.
Now I have to go find something to wear to tea. TEA. With this country's first female Supreme Court Justice.
I am a lucky girl.

About deadzone
From Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Man it's tough to just be a kid these days.
Good to see a small victory for our rights as citizens.
Absolutely nothing about that case would apply.
I am hoping Bob will post one of his oh-so-eloquent rebuttals. One can dream...
Game, Set, and Match troll. Mike's reply to your incoherent ramblings is like one of those awesome fatality finishing moves in Mortal Combat.
I would just move on to something else, you are terrible at shilling.
I hope it's some sort of scam because the alternative is just outrageous and unbelievable.
They can't be that dumb right? Really? Censoring articles with DMCA take down requests?
You guys really are getting desperate huh? I guess it's all part of the long process of adjusting to reality that your kind is going through...
The sheer irony of the RIAA statement caused me to blackout for a minute. Who do they think they are kidding?! The deck is stacked against them?! Wow. That takes balls to say given their history.
Or maybe all of the major isp's could address it in a more meaningful way through investment by upgrading their aging networks to all Fiber.
The differences in areas with fiber buildouts are telling. You see 2 major things that you won't see in your typical broadband monopoly/duopoly market: Competition and No Caps or Throttling.
If someone is using a major search engine to search for sites that will give them free stuff using generic terms such as "Free Movies" or "Piracy Sites" they are neither savvy nor serious about it and will most likely obtain some nice free viruses, Trojans and spy ware for their trouble rather than free movies or music.
I don't think that these entities and persons pushing for these new laws even understand how futile, stupid and counterproductive their techniques are. I also think that they vastly underestimate the abilities, skills and intelligence of those that they are fighting against - not to mention their true intentions and motivations for what they do.
The attitude that this behavior can somehow be curtailed in some significant fashion or even stamped out entirely is a ludicrous and impossible pipe dream. They have turned it into a zero sum game of all or nothing and everyone is worse off because of it.
Yes. Please let's be honest. That would be great if you would do that.
I respectfully request a "Report dumbass comment" button be added alongside the "Insightful" "Funny" and "Report" buttons.
Blue you are a fool. The unintended consequences and collateral damage that this bill would bring if passed are far too numerous to count and if you don't know this or worse, don't care. Then I have no sympathy at all for any of you when it all comes crashing down on you.
Why not stop reading this site then? If it bothers you so much that you feel the need to skewer Mike for every article he writes maybe it's high time for a time out.
The isp's can't even give us a bandwidth meter that works and reliably tracks our CAPPED services and we have seen numerous examples of how clueless the entertainment industry is about technology and their ham fisted clueless attempts to control it!
There is no way that they have come up with a reliable and ACCURATE system to don what they claim it does. The proof is in the pudding and the simple fact that they dont want tp provide pudding to anyone speaks volumes.
If they truly had something they would be shouting it to the rooftops and demonstrating some sort of verifiable data to everyone they could in triumph!
They deserve everything they are being subjected to right now.
Let's hope they are smart enough to cut their losses and move onto something else - preferably something they are good at...
The music industry in it's current form just needs to be put out of it's misery.
The idea of a group of major tech companies buying the music industry sounds good to me. Better to have one last windfall of money and get out with whatever shred of dignity they might still have.
It's just painful and embarrassing to watch the music industry die a slow and painful death the way it is right now. It's pretty obvious by now that the music industry would rather litigate than innovate so it's not like they are really in the business of music anymore.
It's like they are a brain-damaged version of Elmer Fudd. Any type of innovation that would actually help them and bring them a little closer to "getting it" when it comes to the digital world is met with cries of "Kill the innovation!" "Kill the innovation!".
I mean, the freaking work is being done FOR them! All they have to do is got to the table and negotiate RATIONALLY and they would more than likely make money from this and then look at there! Another revenue stream for them that requires no effort other than basically cashing a check.
(That is their favorite thing to do right?)
Money for nothing, innovation for free. Get on board you big dummies!
I love the fact that Mike gets you so worked up AC. You should cover up as your mask is slipping.
You and your industry should take your own advice. "Be careful what you wish for" Too dumb and shortsighted to realize that it's killing your industry I guess.
Every reaction seems to be defensive, every decision that is made seems to be defensive. All resources are being poured into protecting a business model that is becoming less relevant by the day.
Play offense for once and compete. Try something different for a change.
"More than anything she is sounding much more dangerous that your typical Washington type with no tech knowledge: She sounds like she has just enough knowledge to be dangerous, and not enough to know why."
AC - look in the mirror as this basically describes you. I will concede that you seem more close minded and ignorant though.

"As long as they were legally married in the state where the marriage occurred, they're regarded as married," said John Marble, a spokesman for the federal Office of Personnel Management, or OPM.
Last week, the OPM issued a memo to federal agencies stating that "benefits coverage is now available to a legally married same-sex spouse of a Federal employee ... regardless of the employee's or annuitant's state of residency."
Some gay couples who work for the federal government were in limbo in the days following the U.S. Supreme Court's June decision to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. For more than a decade, the act, also known as DOMA, prohibited federal agencies from extending marriage benefits to employees in same-sex marriages, even in states where same-sex marriage is legal. Even after the court's rulings, state bans on gay marriage, including the one in Alabama, remained in place. That raised the question of whether the federal government would recognize same-sex marriages among federal employees in states with gay marriage bans.
Marble said the OPM ruling would apply to all federal employees, including civilians, who work for the executive branch of the federal government. That would likely cover most federal employees in Alabama.
"That does include the Army, the Air Force, FEMA and NASA," Marble said.
Approximately 4,300 Calhoun County residents were working for the federal government in May, according to the state Department of Labor. The county is home to Anniston Army Depot and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Center for Domestic Preparedness.
Other major centers of federal employment in the state include the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery and Fort Rucker in Dale County. The Phenix City area is also home to many federal employees who work at Fort Benning in nearby Columbus, Ga.
The OPM ruling is meant to apply to all federal employees, Marble said, though it wasn't yet clear whether it would be adopted in federal courthouses or for congressional staff working in Alabama.
"We can speak only for the executive branch," Marble said.
It's not clear how many local federal employees are in same-sex marriages. Anniston Army Depot spokeswoman Clester Burdell said depot officials wouldn't have that number, because applications for marriage benefits go directly to the Army Benefits Center, a separate agency.
And, of course, same-sex couples haven't been applying for marriage benefits in the past.
"I don't know if we have captured that information," said Terri Stover, a spokeswoman for Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. "That's a new question."
Stover and Burdell both declined to confirm that marriage benefits would be available to same-sex couples working at their installations. So did Maj. John Redfield, spokesman for Air University at Maxwell AFB. All three said those questions should be answered by Pentagon spokespeople. Attempts to reach Lt. Cdr. Nathan Christensen, spokesman the Defense Department's personnel office, were unsuccessful Tuesday.
Burdell, of Anniston Army Depot, did say the depot had received new guidance from the Office of Personnel Management last week, and would be announcing it to employees soon.
Federal employees who want immediate recognition of their same-sex marriages must apply for marriage benefits by Aug. 26, according to the OPM memo. That's because federal authorities are treating all same-sex marriages as if they were new marriages solemnized on June 26, the date of the Supreme Court decision.
"It's being treated as a 'life event' for benefits purposes," Marble said.
Couples who miss the Aug. 26 deadline will have another chance to apply during open benefits enrollment for federal employees, later this year, the OPM letter states.
There were 6,582 same-sex couples in Alabama who identified themselves as such in the 2010 Census, according to a study by the Williams Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles. The study found 190 same-sex couples in Calhoun County, though it's not clear how many of those self-reported couples were legally married in same-sex-marriage states.
There are four same-sex couples for every 1,000 households in Calhoun County, the study found. That placed Calhoun fourth among Alabama's counties in the number of same-sex couples per thousand households. Only Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery counties ranked higher.

The Significance of Pronunciation in English Language Teaching
Learners with good English pronunciation are likely to be understood even if they make errors in other areas, whereas learners with bad pronunciation will not be understood, even if their grammar is perfect. Such learners may avoid speaking in English, and experience social isolation, employment difficulties and limited opportunities for further study. We judge people by the way they speak, and so learners with poor pronunciation may be judged as incompetent, uneducated or lacking in knowledge. Yet many learners find pronunciation one of the most difficult aspects of English to acquire, and need explicit help from the teacher. Therefore, some sort of pronunciation instruction in class is necessary. The goals of this paper are to define English pronunciation, review the history of English pronunciation instruction, explain the aim of English pronunciation instruction, elaborate pronunciation and communication, review the previous research about the effectiveness of pronunciation instruction on learners' achievement, and discuss the English pronunciation and the target of comfortable intelligibility.

Advanced eac3to Remuxing of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD to MKV
From NMTWiki
Inspired by Remux Blu-ray HD DVD Main Movie for Playback - Credit to jj666
Use this guide to remux Blu-Ray and HD-DVD to a matroska file (.mkv) to play on you NMT. This guide assumes you are comfortable using system command lines to run eac3to, if you would prefer a GUI based approach, try using HdBrStreamExtractor to drive eac3to or look at Remux Blu-ray HD DVD Main Movie for Playback although the latter approach uses a .ts container, which does not support chapters and requires the subtitles to be located next to the .ts file in a separate .srt file.
Matroska has been chosen as the container for this guide, because the resulting .mkv file will contain:
- video
- audio
- chapters
- subtitles (including forced subtitles)
What You Need
Tools and Apps:
- Surcode for DTS encoding.
- Arcsoft TMT for proper 7.1 DTS-HD MA decoding.
Step 1: Rip the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD to hard disk
Whilst eac3to will happily manipulate the video, audio, chapter and subtitles from the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD disk itself, this will substantially slow down the process. It is recommended that the disk is first ripped using AnyDVD HD to a directory on the hard drive. Detailed instuctions on how to rip the disk using AnyDVD HD can be found here Rip the DVD to hard disk
Step 2: Run eac3to to find out what titles are contained on the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD
We need to find out how many titles are on the source disk, then decide which title to select for processing - some disks have seamless branching with multiple versions of the same movie, or include supporting features such as behind the scene documentaries as well as the main title. To list what is on the disk, run the following command:
eac3to source_directory
For example, we get the following result
This is a typical simple Blu-Ray disk, as it contains:
- first playlist (the main movie)
- second playlist (a supporting feature, e.g. a documentary about making the film)
- third playlist (yet another supporting feature)
We want just the main movie, thus we run the following command to find out what streams are contained in the first playlist:
eac3to source_directory playlist_no)
We must take note of any delay reported by eac3to for the audio or video streams, as this must be input into mkvmerge later to ensure everything is in sync. For example, this HD-DVD has a substantial audio delay of 4571ms on English audio track 4, whereas the Italian audio track 5 is advanced by 32ms:
Step 3: Extract the required streams
As we wish to create a full function .mkv, we must extract the following streams from the first playlist:
- h264/AVC video
- ac3 audio (in the example that follows, not TrueHD as the target Home Cinema system does not yet support TrueHD or DTD-HD)
- chapters
- subtitles
For this, we run the following command:
eac3to source_directory playlist_no) chapters_no: chapters.txt video_no: video.mkv audio_no: audio.ac3 subtitles_no: subtitles.sup
To extract TrueHD audio instead, we would change the audio.ac3 parameter for audio.thd as follows:
eac3to source_directory playlist_no) chapters_no: chapters.txt video_no: video.mkv audio_no: audio.thd subtitles_no: subtitles.sup
If the source audio was DTS, we would use audio.dts, for DTS-MA, we would use audio.dtsma
As standard, eac3to can convert audio formats from DTS to ac3, without any other codecs installed; eac3to will convert between other audio formats if the appropriate codecs are installed. For example, converting ac3 to DTS requires a DTS encoder such as surcode which is expensive.
To make eac3to convert audio standards, change the audio suffix in the eac3to command line to the desired audio format. For example, if the source was DTS-MA and you wanted an ac3 audio track, specify audio.ac3 for the DTS-MA stream; eac3to will extract the DTS core, then convert the DTS to ac3.
Step 4: Extracting Forced Subtitles
Here we have a movie that has forced subtitles (tracks 39-44):
It is important to select and extract the forced subtitles, rip as shown in Converting the subtitle from a .sup to a .srt to create a .srt file, then add the .srt to the .mkv file as a subtitle with the 'Forced track flag' set to 'yes' as shown in Mux the files together into the .mkv
Step 5: How to handle seamless branching videos
This example Blu-Ray disk has numerous playlists, the challenge is to work out which playlist to choose for the version of the movie you want to extract:
Unfortunately there is no other solution than to extract each playlist in turn until you find the one you want. Try extracting just the video and inspect the end result on your PC with something like Videolan. In the example above, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd playlists all have the same first video branch 0 (which corresponds to 00000.m2ts), the 4th, 5th and 6th playlists start with video branch 93 (00093.m2ts). Therefore if the 1st playlist is not the result you want, try skipping to the 4th playlist as the 2nd and 3rd playlists will be similar to the 1st playlist.
Step 6: Convert the subtitles from a .sup to a .srt
Subtitles are stored as bitmaps on the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, we need to convert them into .srt files, which are text versions of the subtitles, with timing information for when and how long each subtitle should be displayed. If you are lucky, you can find a corresponding .srt file from the internet for your movie that someonelse has prepared - this can be fraught with difficulty as the quality of the ripping can vary and you cannot be sure if the timing information is correct. Run SupRip and open the .sup file that we extracted earlier, you will be presented with the following screen:
SupRip has done a pretty good job at optical character recognising most of the characters, but there are 5 characters it cannot recognise:
- the 'o' in 'Who'
- the 'you' in 'you'
- the 'n' in 'men'
We need to train SupRip and this will seem tedious at first, but after a while SupRip can recognise more and more of the subtitles without intervention. Click on the first character highlighted in subtitle as a colour other than green, this will display the character below the subtitle, then type in the correct character into the box to the left of the 'Ok' button. If you need to use some other character than is on your keyboard, click on the 'Character Map' button and you can copy the desired character and paste it into the box to the left of the 'Ok' button.
When you are happy, click 'Ok' and the next unknown character should be displayed, keep doing this until all the characters have been corrected, then hit the 'OCR' button, which will move onto the next subtitle that SupRip cannot fully OCR.
Where italics have been used for the subtitle, you will have to train SupRip in almost all of the characters.
When you have corrected all the subtitles, click on the 'SRT' tab to look at the .srt file before saving this to hard disk. Here you can see that a .srt file is just a text file containing each subtitle with a start time and duration. Quickly check the .srt file to see if there are any mistakes, if there are, note the subtitle number, click on the 'Image' tab, type in the subtitle number into the box above the subtitle and correct the mistake by clicking on the corresponding character in the subtitle and correcting the character that is in the box to the left of the 'Ok' button.
Once satisfied that the subtitle is correct, click on the 'Save' button on the SRT tab and save your .srt file.
Whilst SupRip does a pretty good OCR job, it's biggest weakness is that it cannot differentiate between an 'l' and a capital 'i' because of the font used for the subtitle bitmaps - the easiest (but tedious) way to correct this is to open the .srt file within notepad, and search and replace for every 'l' and replace with a capital 'i' if SupRip has got it wrong.
Step 7: Mux the files together into the .mkv
Now we need to put all the components of our movie into a container; for this guide we have chosen the matroska container as this will allow all of the four components (video, audio, chapters and subtitles) to be put into the single container, which makes it easy to administer the movies. It is easy enough to move the components to a different container at a later date if this is required, so this is not a one-way process. We are using the mkvmerge GUI to drive mkvmerge - start by adding the video, audio and subtitles into mkvmerge GUI from the Input tab
Click on each stream in the 'Track' box in turn to set any parameters relevant to that stream. For example, the audio stream should have the language set in the 'General Track Options' tab, and any audio delay noted from the earlier eac3to extraction process should be entered into the 'Format Specific Options' tab. If you have added multiple audio tracks, ensure you select one of them as the default in the 'General Track Options' tab.
For subtitles, at least set the language in the 'General Track Options' tab. If the movie is originally in a foreign langauage, you could set the 'Forced track flag' in the 'General Track Options' tab to 'yes' to ensure that the subtitles are displayed without the user switching them on. If you have ripped a forced subtitle track (as shown earlier in ExtractingForced Subtitles), ensure that the 'Forced track flag' is set ot 'yes'.
To add the chapters we go to the 'Global' tab and input the chapters file we created earlier when extratcing the movie. It is worth setting the language type for the chapters
Now we are ready to mux the components into one file:
The file is complete, we can now test it on the PC with Videolan or transfer it to the NMT and test it there.

7 End-of-Year Tax Trimmers
Decisions in the final months of 2011 can have a big impact on how much you could potentially save in 2012.
With the end of the year fast approaching, it's smart to be thinking about your taxes now, even if they aren't due for another five months. The reason is obvious: It will be your earnings and spending this year that will determine how big of a check you'll be writing Uncle Sam next year.
Major decisions in the final months of 2011 can have a big impact on how much you could potentially save in 2012, which, in part, depends on the tax brackets. Here are seven ways you can reduce your tax burden in the short time that's left this year.
[See 10 Ways to Start Earning Extra Money Now.]
Donate: 'Tis the season to be giving–-whether it's an old car, checks to charities, or anything else of value given for no personal gain. You can see serious deductions come tax time, as long as you remember to itemize.
Sell off bad investments: Up to $3,000 worth of stock market losses can be deducted from what you owe the federal government. It's wise to sell before the year is out if you have little confidence in particular investments improving–-in order to gain something from them.
Pay your December mortgage payment in December: Your mortgage repayment, unlike rent, is due at the end of the month of occupancy rather than beforehand. This means if you can pay your December mortgage before the first of the year, you can get an extra deduction for the added interest.
[See 4 Ways to Pay Off Your Mortgage Quicker.]
Hold off bonuses and extra income: It's obvious but easily forgettable when we all need extra money around the holidays, but if you can manage to put off bonuses and/or as many payments as possible until the new year, you can lower the amount of money subject to state and federal income tax.
Max out your 401(k): Every dime you dump into your 401(k) is immune from IRS bean counting. If you haven't met the 2011 $16,500 tax-free maximum, then get as close to it as possible.
[See How to Maximize the Higher 401(k) Contribution Limit.]
Pore over out-of-pocket medical costs: If the money you spent out-of-pocket for medical expenses amounts to more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income, you are entitled to have these costs count as deductions.
Get married: Most dream weddings occur in the warmer months, but if an engagement is extended to spring, it may be smart to reconsider your plans and get hitched before the first of the year for tax purposes. But don't count out having your wedding cake and eating it, too: Get it legally activated now, and save the ceremony for when the weather is more appropriate. Then, use your tax savings next year to splurge on your honeymoon.
Nobody wants to think about what they owe Uncle Sam at a time when they'd much rather focus on their family, but there's perhaps no better time to trim your taxes than in the last months of the year.

I have been working at Aristocrat Technologies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – technology and domain. the casino gaming domain is very niche and regulated. we get to implement cutting edge technologies, new devices.
Its a learning hub for those who intend to learn.
very good compensation and benefits. I simply love their leave policy.
flexible work timings, performance driven environment. good capable peers.
opportunities to visit Las Vegas, Macau, Sydney.
Cons – the building cafeteria serves substandard food. company floor has its own mini cafeteria but they lack variety.
too many awards, recognition programs actually create excessive competitiveness which creates an inverse effect on the environment.
Advice to Senior Management – Kindly make employees understand that achieving own 'Key Performance Objectives' do not earn award / recognition. employees should concentrate more on their work and deliverables rather on these award / recognition stuff. only exceptional achievements should be awarded on the floor. The salary and benefits are sufficient to make employees happy.

(Baffin Bay Cruise)
The Arctic has an allure that grips many adventurers. Whether it's the Inuit culture of the Canadian North, the incredible wildlife along the fringe of the ice, or the riveting history of exploration that captivates many a reader, one thing is for sure- there is a magnetizing force which draws those in search of adventure. Over the course of this expedition voyage you will cross the highly anticipated Arctic Circle at least twice aboard your polar-outfitted ship, as you venture and explore the frontier territory of the Eastern Canadian Arctic. A parallel of latitude located at about 66 degrees and 33 minutes North, the Arctic Circle marks the southernmost latitude where the sun stays above the horizon for 24-hours on the Summer Solstice. By ship, zodiac and land, discover Inuit culture, search for polar bears, seals, walrus, whales and arctic fox, and uncover the majesty of the Canadian Arctic around Baffin Island.

Cruise Departures (2014):
Jul 22
Iqaluit, the capital and largest community of Nunavut, is located at the head of Frobisher Bay, on Baffin Island. With an average monthly temperature below zero degrees for eight months of the year, the permafrost inhibits the growth of large trees and shrubs. One might see a low to the ground Arctic willow, however, keep your eyes open, they don't typically stand higher than 6" from the ground. Following a group walking tour of Iqaluit, your water-based adventure starts when you board your expedition vessel by zodiac.
Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled in to your stateroom, and to explore the length of your ship. You'll be setting sail shortly.
Akademik Ioffe was designed and built in Finland for the Russian Academy of Science, to travel quietly, during hydro-acoustic research. The vessel carries a maximum of 107 guests in a variety of cabin configurations. This Polar Adventure Ship is exceptionally maneuverable and quick. External stabilizers and a built-in trimming system provide exceptional stability. Akademik Ioffe, sister ship to Akademik Sergey Vavilov, has an ice-strengthened hull and a cruising speed in open water of 14.5 knots. All cabins have exterior views. Cabins have either shared, semi-private or private facilities. One dining room with unreserved seating. Lounge and bar, open afternoon and evening. Theater-style presentation room.
At the mouth of Frobisher Bay and the southeast tip of Baffin Island, the Lower Savage Islands are an archipelago of islands that look like they have been split apart by a large hammer. A maze of channels and small islets, this is a fantastic place to explore by zodiac. You'll be dropped off by the ship, and will begin to walk across this intriguing landscape. The mixing of waters offshore makes it quite rich in marine life and you'll be looking for the first polar bears of the voyage on this excursion.
Today you'll anchor at Kimmirut (Lake Harbour) and transfer ashore by zodiac. A beautiful town awaits your visit, with community members providing a warm welcome. Here you'll have an opportunity to hike and tour the town. Later in the day, you'll aim to land at High Bluff Island for a nature-based excursion. Walking, hiking, photographic and kayaking opportunities abound, as you make your way ashore. An inuksuk (man-made stone marker shaped like a human) can be seen along a hike to the high point on the island, for anyone looking for a more challenging option.
The largest island in Ungava Bay, Akpatok Island is home to one of the great seabird colonies of the Arctic. The limestone cliffs rising up to 800 feet above sea level are home to thick-billed murres (also known as Brunnich's guillemots), black guillemots and black-legged kittiwakes. Where there are sea bird colonies, you may also find peregrine falcons and Arctic fox. Given appropriate sea conditions, plan to explore the base of these cliffs by zodiac.
Named for the wife of Sir John Franklin, the explorer of Northwest Passage note, Lady Franklin Island bears an interesting resemblance to Lady Franklin herself. From a distance, the island is not imposing and doesn't stand out however, as you approach there is an appearance of something formidable. And, as you really start to explore it, you realize that it is a force to be reckoned with. All much like Lady Franklin who almost single-handedly kept the search going for her missing husband for years if not decades after his disappearance. In fact, only recently, in August 2012 the Canadian government launched its latest search for Franklin and his ships.
More than just for its intrinsic value, Lady Franklin Island is also a good spot to find polar bear, caribou and gyrfalcons. You'll slowly approach by ship and drop the zodiacs for cruise and possible landing on this island.
While the expedition crew cannot be certain where the ice edge will be, you'll sail for the ice in Davis Strait in order to experience this dramatic transit zone. Much of the Arctic sea life seems to be interested in this transit zone as well, keeping your eyes peeled for bearded, hooded and ringed seals as well as polar bears and walrus. Who knows, perhaps a bowhead whale will be cruising the ice edge. Spotting scopes and binoculars will be in use as everyone scans the ice looking for wildlife. If conditions permit, you will even launch the zodiacs so that you can get into the ice and explore.
Sunshine Fjord straddles the Arctic Circle. Who knows, on this day, you might cruise across the Circle on the ship, zodiac cruise across it in the zodiacs and even hike across it on shore. A beautiful place to hike, there will be various groups going for elevation as well as traversing the shoreline of the fjord. The sea kayakers will take advantage of often-sheltered conditions for a paddle here.
We turn back south away from the Arctic Circle and sail toward the mouth of Cumberland Sound. Protecting the northern entrance to Cumberland Sound, Cape Mercy is an exposed headland jutting out into Davis Strait. As the Baffin Bay middle ice recedes throughout the summer, the stretch of Baffin coast from Cape Mercy to Cape Dyer is a great place to find polar bears coming ashore. All eyes will be searching as you sail this region.
Nestled in the heart of Cumberland Sound and the gateway to Auyuittuq National Park, Pangnirtung is beautifully situated between the mountains and the sea. This town is known for its arts and crafts and a visit to the art gallery is a must. In addition, the Angmarlik Visitor Centre has a wonderful interpretive display featuring the lifestyle of the Thule and of the modern Inuit.
Leave Cumberland Sound behind as you sail south through Davis Strait and back towards Frobisher Bay. Your last excursion is to visit Monumental Island. An offshore island in Davis Strait, it is a known spot for finding walrus. You'll launch the zodiacs and search the shoreline for them. When seen up close, the sheer size of these creatures creates the impression they would be slow and slovenly, however in the water their dynamic ability to twist and turn is inspiring to even the fastest swimmer. Watchful eyes may locate smaller pups within the masses. Taking your time in the zodiacs at this site allows for nature to take its course and our small group to witness the brilliance of it. Polar bears are often found here and have been known to chase the walrus off their haul out and into the water.
Arriving back into the capital of Nunavut, you disembark here and take a transfer to the airport for your flight home.

"Dear Danny,
I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. Waffa Lenky navigated us with relative ease through the crowded tourist attractions. She was knowledgable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"Hi, David,
We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. We did not encounter anyone else at all from Kensington Tours although there were a few "groups" on the ship. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends, although at our age few travel far afield. Very best wishes, Pauline

The Galena offense did pretty much anything it wanted throughout the 48 minutes of lopsided football action. The Grizzlies ripped off the first 21 points of the game, in just a little more than a quarter. They pushed their lead to 35-14 at halftime and never allowed it to shrink to under 20 points after the break.
"Galena was better than us," Hare said. "They beat us everywhere. We played hard. When you play hard and lose, that means the other team just flat out beat you."
The visiting Grizzlies took control from the opening kickoff. They scored on their first two possessions and three of their first four en route to building a 21-0 lead just six seconds into the second quarter.
Galena's first two touchdowns -- at the 10:11 and 7:12 marks of the first quarter -- came on Brock Raggio touchdown tosses. The first one was a 7-yard grab by Eric Anderson and the second was a 13-yard catch by Ben Barnard.
At the 11:54 of the second quarter, Galena got a 2-yard touchdown run by Barnard, accounting for its 21-0 advantage. Barnard finished with 39 carries for 182 yards, including a 41-yard scamper on the game's first drive that set up Galena's initial touchdown.
"Our start was pretty big," Galena coach Steve Struzyk said. "That's what we wanted and what we talked about. This was a big win for us. This has not been an easy place for us to play in the past."
The two teams both posted a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, leaving the scoreboard to read 35-14 at the intermission.
Spanish Springs' first touchdown of the game came when senior running back CJ Carrithers bolted 67 yards untouched, right up the middle, as the Cougars' trimmed the deficit to 21-6 at the 7:05 mark of the second quarter.
The hosts couldn't get any momentum as Galena responded with a scoring drive over the next three minutes that was capped by a 22-yard pass-and-catch scoring combination from Raggio to Chaz Clark for a 28-6.
Clark made some big plays for Galena. He caught seven balls for 200 yards.
"Clark is pretty good," Hare said. "He made plays. Our defenders weren't out of position. He just made plays."
The margin was pushed to 35-6 at the 2:02 mark of quarter number two when Barnard plunged in from a yard out. Galena had gotten possession back quickly after an SSHS turnover.
The Cougars did manage a touchdown in the waning seconds of the half. Carrithers got a 1-yard touchdown dive with 35 seconds remaining before halftime. The TD was set up by a 30-yard pass from Hunter Fralick to Shamir Geisinger and 20-yard Fralick to Gehrig Parks reception.
Galena tacked on a touchdown in the third quarter and another in the fourth for its last two scoring drives. Raggio found Blake Whitlock for a 9-yard TD in the third and then Anderson had a 1-yard TD run in the fourth.
Raggio was 16-of-24 through the air, racking up 266 yards.
Spanish Springs found the end zone just once in the second half. That touchdown came with 2:53 remaining in the third quarter. It was a Fralick to Parks 9-yard scoring play.
Fralick, who has given a verbal commitment to play his college football at Nevada, and his receivers struggled to get on the same page all night. The senior standout finished 10-of-30 for 129 yards passing.
"Our passing game the last couple of years has won us some games," Hare said. "But tonight it was not up to par. That's a big part of why things didn't go well."
Spanish Springs (1-2) will try to bounce back when it goes to Douglas for a non-conference clash next Friday at 7 p.m.

Jicarilla Apache/ Pueblo of Santa Ana
Joaquin's mission is bringing awareness to the non-Native population on how they approach American Indian health. On the fast track to become a dentist, he says it is important to increase the number of Native health professionals and Native health researchers.
Joaquin, a junior public health major at the University of Colorado, has taken his cultural, academic, and professional experiences to create opportunities to help his people by doing what he describes as walking in other worlds.
Joaquin initially planned to become a medical doctor, then became interested in oral heath during his internship experience at the prestigious Center for Native Oral Health Research at the Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in Colorado, one of three research programs in the nation that looks at oral disparity among minority populations. Joaquin is the only undergraduate student on the research projects. His experience at the center is assisting him academically and professionally. He says he has gained an appreciation for oral health care and its importance to overall well being, especially in Native communities.

Coeur Alaska, Inc. had asked the full court to overturn a 3-judge panel's decision in May that prevented Coeur from filling Lower Slate Lake with tailings from Kensington gold mine, near Berners Bay in Alaska. None of the court's 27 active judges agreed to re-hear the case.
Other mining ventures in Alaska and the rest of the nation were set to similarly destroy lakes if the court had allowed Coeur to proceed, said Tom Waldo, the Earthjustice attorney who successfully sued Coeur and the Army Corps of Engineers for granting a permit to Coeur.
"Coeur wanted to dump 4.5 million tons of mine tailings into the lake, killing all fish and aquatic life. The court said that is illegal under the Clean Water Act," Waldo said. "The whole reason Congress passed the Clean Water Act was to stop turning our lakes and rivers into industrial waste dumps."
"The Bush Administration selected the Kensington Mine to test the limits of the Clean Water Act. The Army Corps had never issued a permit like this before. Fortunately, the court drew the line. The Clean Water Act does not allow a corporation to kill a lake with chemically processed mine wastes."
Coeur could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but Waldo doubted the court would even consider the matter, in large part because it's such an obvious attempt to turn the Clean Water Act into a permission slip for destroying the nation's waterways.
The only real and responsible next step for Coeur is to continue working with local and national conservation groups -- who were represented by Earthjustice in the legal action -- to find a way to dispose of tailings that complies with the Clean Water Act and protects Berners Bay, Waldo said. Mine representatives and the conservation groups have been meeting for weeks to discuss the issue.
Earthjustice represented the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, Lynn Canal Conservation, and the Sierra Club.
Waldo said communities across the United States should take heart from what the Ninth Circuit Court has done for the country.
"If they were allowed to dump mining wastes in Slate Lake, they could do it into any lake, river or stream in the country. The Ninth Circuit has emphatically said -- that's illegal," he said.
Tom Waldo, Earthjustice, (907) 586-2751

These are the Best!
These are the best Crocs in my opinion. I was so disappointed when they were not offered for several years but now they are back and I just ordered two more pair. Extremely durable and very comfortable. I have several other pair of crocs but for me these are my all time favorite!

Love them
I have bought three pairs of this shoe style. I have tried several others, but these feel the best. The rubber sole gives me traction on wet floors and grass. I am a potter and they wash off easily . I stand on concrete floors all day and I never get tired. When I switch to other styles my feet feel fatigued at the end of the day. Please bring back the women's shoe, and more colors. I like the tan. Also I hike in the summer through creeks ,thses keep me cool and sure footed.
